One Response to “Attacks on Syria – Dominion Post – 14 April 2018”

Bravo, Kay Weir! The stuff website doesn’t seem to have letters to the editor any more, and by the time I saw this, the Press Display version had been overwritten. Here is a text transcription of Kay’s letter:
Wars based on United States-led
Coalition lies destroyed Iraq and
Libya. Is Syria next?
Terrorist groups in Syria use
chemical weapons but Syrian
chemical attack (Dominion Post
April 11) ignores this. The
Washington Post, late In 2016,
reported that Islamic State had used
chemical weapons in Syria and Iraq
52 times since 2014. A declassified
August 2012 US Defence Intelligence
Agency report notes that terrorist
groups had been supported in Syria
by US-led allies since at least 2012 to
undermine the Assad government.
Syrians have suffered greatly from
their orchestrated violence.

Syria asked Russia for support in
2016 to prevent it becoming another
Iraq and 95 per cent of Damascus
territory has been regained. Recent
unverified reports of chlorine gas
use in East Ghouta were likely
staged by the last terrorist pocket to
provide an excuse for the US-led
coalition to intervene to stop their
final evacuation.

Syria’s army, with Russian
support, has liberated tens of
thousands of civilians trapped for six
years by terrorists in horrifying
situations. Thousands of people are
being cared for in relief centres run
by Syrian and Russia medics and
volunteers. Are we to just stand by
and watch while America launches
“new smart missiles” at Syria’s lawful
government?
